Ten Years Ago

Ten years ago, Jana Maegaard, decided to help women, who were battling breast cancer, get together to talk about all they were going through.  She invited 6 ladies to her home to sit around her kitchen table to talk about their battles.  For me, it was amazing, sitting there with these women who...
